Why read it?
1 author picked The Memory as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While this may not be classed as a suspense novel, it is just that for me. It is a brutal, honest, and heartbreaking story that lived on long after I finished reading it. Touching on dementia and Down Syndrome, the author weaves a magic web of true understanding and heartfelt emotions.

From Kathleen's list on suspense with twisted and unpredictable plots.
